Reaction Steps

315 g of diethanolamine were dissolved in 500 g of tetrahydrofuran in a round-bottom flask. Then, 310 g of acetic anhydride were slowly added. The temperature was kept below 5° C. with the aid of a cooling bath. When, after the dropwise addition, exothermic heat was no longer detectable, heating was slowly carried out to 100° C. Tetrahydrofuran and acetic acid were removed under vacuum.
